If I design a mobile interface so you can enter your tips from your mobile phone, can we do away with changes?

It emails you 5-6 hours before the game starts if you haven't tipped, and you have all week to enter your tips, there shouldn't be any excuses.

You can do a mobile phone interface?

*nods*
as dan said, i lost out on a tip in similar circumstances - rudi should forget about the tip and concentrate on trying to make up for it as far as i'm concerned. otherwise, i'd be entitled to the full 2nd-place prize from last year instead of equal 2nd due to the extra tip. yep.
(although i still havent received a cent for that anyway)

Like a mobile xhtml version that you browse with your phones browser? yes, it's just html.

And/Or, I could fork out 0.10c to automatically SMS you if you forget to tip, 0.10c I can live with, as long as everybody doesn't decide not to tip.

Well I have proof that I tipped the Saints in other competitions.

I whipped up a basic form that should work on most newish mobile phones, doesn't work on my old crappy one, as it doesn't seem to support multiple radio boxes.

If someone could check this on their mobile and tell me if it works for them?

Send your phones browser to http://www.ventyouranger.com/footy/mobile/

Make sure it works for you before you decide you want to tip via your mobile 2 mins before the first game starts.

that's not neccessarily proof you'd have tipped em in this one, though. of course not. neccessarily.
besides, if i lost out on a tip, you and anyone else should too. you want this week's extra tip, then you ought to pay me what money i should recieve for outright second for last year. fair's fair. yep.
no fucking double standards mate just cos you've got other tip comps and i don't.

Poll added to this thread, majority wins.

Actually Wal we have accepted proof on occasions from Rudi and Jeremy when they have been able to prove they tipped a certain way and then we adjusted their tips accordingly. Last season you could not prove you were tipping that way. That's the difference. If Rudi can prove it with a tipping slip or online results then it's the same as other times we have altered scores. If not, then it's exactly the same as last season when you missed out.
